One of the more depressing thoughts for Democrats these days has to be that if we do manage to win back the Senate next year, as it stands now, Chuck Schumer would become the majority leader, replacing the ever feisty Harry Reid.
As if being a Wall Street apologist and being one of only four Democrats to oppose the Iran Treaty wasn't bad enough, today Schumer said a pause may be needed in allowing Syrian refugees to enter America. At a moment when he could have chosen to show the moral courage of Democratic Reps. Tammy Duckworth and Keith Ellison, or Democratic Governors Jay Inslee or Dannel Malloy, Schumer chose instead to stand against widows and children and stand with cry baby republicans.
Over the course of the next year, we as Democrats are going to be asked to donate money again and again, donate time again and again, but I'd like to ask if in return Chuck Schumer is the best we can do as our leader in the Senate.
Because I find it really hard to believe that he is.
Peace,
